9、Necropants
人皮长裤
Icelandic Folklore
冰岛的民间传说
If you're familiar with Icelandic mythology, you know that the Necropants are a weird tidbit of Icelandic folklore that tie into the country's beliefs about witchcraft. To obtain this fine pair of legwear, you have to be a witch first. After that, you must obtain the permission of a man to get his flesh after he has passed from this realm. That's when the real fun begins.
如果你熟悉冰岛神话,你就会知道"人皮长裤"是冰岛民间传说中一个联系着整个国家对巫术信仰的奇怪趣闻。要想得到这条神奇裤子的裤管,就要先成为一个巫师。在那之后,你必须得到那个即将死去的人的允许来得到他的皮。接着好戏就开始了。
Once the man has died, you must take his corpse and flay the flesh from the waist down in one piece. As soon as you’ve managed that, you put on the skin-pants and then place a single coin stolen from a poor widow into the scrotum. The coin is to be accompanied by a magical seal, which will result in your new scrotum-wallet never running out of money so long as you never lose the original coin.
那个人一旦死去,你就要拿来他的尸体然后从腰部开始把他的皮整块得剥下来。在你成功之后,就要马上穿上这条人皮裤子然后把一个从寡妇那里偷来的硬币放在阴囊里。用魔法密封好硬币之后,你就会有一个全新的阴囊钱包啦!只要你不会不小心丢掉原来硬币,你就会有永远用不完的钱了。
